About this property
Peaceful cottage with large garden, quiet getaway, 20 minutes Zoo St-Aignan
This 18th century cottage with large garden, is set in the vineyards of the Loire Valley, great for walking or a morning run.
It has two living rooms either side of a spacious kitchen. The stairs lead up from the kitchen to a beamed landing, with three bedrooms leading off it.
There is a ground floor shower room with toilet, and a bathroom and separate toilet upstairs. There is ample parking for 3 cars, large garden with barbecue area.
Situated midway between Château Chenonceaux & Cheverny and Chambord Chateaux, it is well placed for sightseeing, 10 minutes drive from the shops & good local market.
The Montrichard beach and playground on the Cher River are great for young children plus the famous Beauval Zoo, (St-Aignan) a great day out for all the family.
